Abstract

The new South Africa came into existence in 1994. The incoming government faced amassive task of fiscal, political, social and economic transformation, all of which wouldrequire an effective public service capability. Yet the public service itself had been subjectduring the Apartheid era to the same limitations as other key South African institutions.Due to the lack of know how in 1994, South Africa needed an overwhelmingtransformation of public service focus, culture and procedures.
